Why is everything about this show so perfect other than the writing.
Everything just feels amazing when I watch this, but then it just gets dragged down by weird dialogue and contrived plots.
I'm about to finish the second season and I want to love this show, and I am recommending it to everyone but sometimes it's just so disappointing.

That being said is there any show with a better soundtrack than this, cause I doubt it.
>>
>>71704197
Contrived plots, maybe
I thought the dialogue was fine, sometimes great. The stilted bits sound more historical-stilted than like poor writing
>>
>>71704197
Do you mean plot points in season 2?

I watched s1 a while ago and remember really enjoying it. Haven't got around to the second season.
>>
The Knick went full cuckold in season 1. Haven't watched it since the gary stu nigger fucking the coalburner richman's whore of a daughter
>>
>>71704197
Best Show on Television.

season 2 is miles better than 1, which was great as well
best show currently on television
I don't get how people accuse it of bad writing
>>
>>71704264
>The stilted bits sound more historical-stilted than like poor writing
Sometimes that's true. I can't remember exactly when it happens but I remember in season 1 at least that there were a few times it blew my mind because someone said something that was just completely unbelievable.
Like, exposition just for the sake of delivered in a manner noone would ever actually speak

You'll understand when you grow out of video games and IMDBcore.
>>

I will, based Gallinger is the protag now.
>>
>>71707555
He did nothing wrong. I adored that character. For all of the cuck shit in the show I appreciate that they made the "villian" (from a SJW perspective) such a reasonable and developed person. Makes me wonder if they had one really redpilled writer who did Gallinger's scenes.
>>
>>71707121
I think you have to grow out of your contrarian phase
>>
>>71707894
>>71707555
I know the nigger part was pretty annoying, but this guy was a dumb fuck.
>>
>>71708538
If you think contrarianism is a real thing then you are still in your good little cucksumer slave phase. Those Jew owned critic sites or social networks wouldn't be trying to mislead you by praising Jew produced shows, right?

You are infantile about the medium. Those shows may seem "adult" next to your capeshit but I can tell you that they are purely adolescent. If you want a show with good writing watch Deadwood or The Sopranos. Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and Fargo are borderline video games. No white man should settle for subpar art.
>>
>>71708649
He said or did nothing wrong in either season.
>>
>>71708965
>plotting to ruin someone else's reputation is not wrong

He was just stupid and acted on his jealousy.
>>
>>71709059

You mean he was exerting his white superiority.

>>71709086
No, I mean crying himself to sleep and shitty childish behaviour because some nigger was a better surgeon than him.
>>
>>71709291
He because aware of the SJW led injustice that was being exacted upon him, he got got rightfully angry about this, then he blew that subhuman the fuck out and got a happy ending going to europe with a hot piece of ass.


I see a lot of myself in Gallinger and I can tell you that everything he did was justified. He had some moments of weakness but that's just the human experience for you. A great story of a man who had his dignity stolen from him and then reclaimed it.
>>
>>71709402
He should try, you know, being better at his job if he cared so much.
>>
>>71709448
He was great at his job. Sometimes the powers that be conspire against you and that's not enough.
>>
>>71709476
He was outperformed by a monkey m8
>>
>>71704197
Yep. The first season was critically flawed thanks to the writing. Absolutely every single other element was GOD tier, the writing was cliched, cringy, obvious. Been putting off the second for that reason.
>>

>It's a nigger is smarter than all the white characters episode.

No thanks. D-R-O-P-P-E-D.

I want /pol/ to leave

it wasn't always like this. i'm not "neo-whatever" or a redditor trying to take over the site for my liberal agenda

I've been here eight fucking years and in the last four I've watched the HUR NIGGERS CULT MARXISTS SJWS point of view go from an established one (but with competing views) to literally the only fucking ideology on this place

i thought the point of this fucking site was that we could all be different and obnoxious together - but now we have one insanely loud and irritating group that just fucking dominates everything

I want /pol/ to fucking leave.

anyways I only actually watched season 1 and it was fucking excellent. Some of Soderberg's best work honestly. I love the feeling of the camera with the sorta quasi-handheld wobble, it somehow really suits the show. So how does season 2 hold up?
>>

You can only thank leftists from pushing their agenda everywhere. I mean, I feel your pain, but these people just take a defensive position against the aggressive ideology being pushed through every channel.

The white race was sliding to its death for a long time but in the last couple of years it has landed in the meat grinder and is being torn to shreds. Now the war on whites is so overt that you'd need to either be retarded or completely brainwashed not to call it out. It's only going to keep gaining momentum until we're fighting the degenerates in the streets or the cucks win and we get bred out.

If you've been exposed to this for 8 years and you're not lying in bed every night unable to sleep, trembling in rage over what the jews have done to your country, then you either have some kind of mental disability or your head is buried so completely in the sand.

You thought wrong. This site is an anonymous imageboard where everyone can say what they want. If you get bullied by /pol/ and want to leave that's nobody else's fault by yours. I get bullied by memes every time I post some unpopular opinions but that doesn't stop me.

The point of this site is to strip yourself of all ego and identity and become a cog in a far greater machine which can achieve great things.

If you want "LE DIVERSITY CELEBRATION" where you can go be yourself fuck off to tumblr. 4chan is the perfectly oiled machine. An endless amount of guns poised in unison and when the trigger is pulled nothing will survive. You cut a head off this hydra and there are thousands more ready to grow back in its place. There is no room for "you" here.

Our race is teetering on the brink of no return. Many white countries have already fallen in the wake of the rape swarm.

This is a myth, people who have darker skin are not going to rape just to procriate more people who have darker skin, this is beyond stupid.
>Nice tumblr meme "science"
It's not a meme, you can clearly see this. I've seen people who were genuinely white and got a darker skin during the years, I'm not even a science cocksucker but even a toddler could see this.
>Racism helps the strong stay strong. Eugenics IS good.
Good luck inbred baby, hope you like fucking your own mother or sister, you'll see how fucked your lineage will be in a few generations.

IQ is just stupid, doesn't measure anything, but if you have any data, let me see it then I debunk it, but usually whites and other races have better education than blacks, so if you generalize every race in a macrocosm like an USA state, whites will probably have better results in a IQ test. But you can't generalize people, you have to judge them by their own.
Crime levels are the same thing, if a certain race has lower conditions than the other, usually this race will have higher crime levels, this is basic sociology my inbred /pol/bro. And again, the results can change depending the macrocosm you're trying to analyze.

I'll give you a simple example, my dad comes from a family that have Lebanese, German, Italian and Native Indian descendence. He's white, but due to the excessive amount of time spent on the sun his arms, legs and head (all have a mulatto coloration or even black) have a darker color than his torso (white). My dad has a PhD in engineering in one of the best English Universities. Other fact, there are a lot of Indian scientists, they are usuallly smarter than whites, not because of their race, but because of their method (PBL is usually used in most indian universities) which is better than the American (and most students from American Universities are white).
So, if you used this macrocosm, and had a poor analysis, you would conclude that Indians are usually smarter than whites, and that's wrong.
>>
>>71712478
there was actually a pretty big iq study that normalized the iq's over social background which found that american blacks had shit iq.

agree tho, iq is a bunch of shit
>>
>tfw nosefu dies
>>
>>71712478
>iq
>education

Except IQ measures your ability to solve abstract problems.

And why the fuck do you even compare tanning to race. Do you seriously thing the only difference between a negro and a whitey is the melanin level in their skin? Look at the face, the hair, the proportions. Everything is different. Even muscles have different characteristics for whites and blacks.

You could maybe argue that the writing is the weakest link in the show because of how exceptional literally every other aspect of it is, but it is still excellent writing and although the other parts of the show may outshine it in most people's minds The Knick still has some of the best writing on television in recent memory. There are insightful moments of true humanity, genuinely funny moments of levity, layered complexities and allusions to dig up, and some of the finest set ups, payoffs, and twists we've seen recently in practically every episode.

>>71712966
The differences are larger due to years of geographic differences and this leads to different body proportions. Why do blacks usually have bigger dicks, because black women usually have deeper vaginas. In fact it's all evolutionary, the most adapted characteristics stand while the others disappear. But the melanin level is due to radiation and that's a fact. Blacks are usually better at Basketball and Athleticism while Whites are usually better at Swimming and Hockey. But in soccer each one of the races has really good players, because it's a more popular sport all over the world while the other ones are only popular to some races, that's why they usually have a difference at some sports.

IQ tests tend to have AP and GP problems, a person who had a better education is usually more prepared to do this tests, since education involves abstraction.

It's a very good show, and I may agree that's the best from the past couple years.

Every single character was based, but Cleary and Thackery were absolutely great.

This, for me, was the best scene in the entire show.
